@drh3xx Something like that has to exist already, right? As a sort of tax-haven nation, if nothing else. 路 3 months ago
Rad as hell. // Brings me back to middle school, when I had to research a specific country for a paper, and I chose Sealand. Got spoken to 路 3 months ago
@half_elf_monk I suspect that and the ability to grease the right palms with a few coin. I guess there are all kinds of physical and legal systems you'd have to have in place aligned with existing nations to integrate with the global banking systems too. Once the money/trade is flowing I'm sure they'd welcome you as a bone fide paid up member of the country club. 路 3 months ago
I'm fascinated by the idea of this sort of thing. What would it take, practically speaking, for a micronation to get recognized by other governments? In all actuality, I'm guessing it's having the capacity to project force greater than the interest in capturing the physical territory. Is that too cynical? 路 3 months ago

ah, that was back in the days when the remains of the british empire still had some power of that oversea territory. today, i would keep a safe distance from any .io cctld domain 路 3 months ago
Great story. I though .io was a problematic TLD though as it is planned for removal (though given it's prevalence I'm not sure it will be done on any reasonable timescale) 路 3 months ago
